Things I Want

I have a list. I believe everyone has one in their heads, a list that they keep of things they wish to accomplish and goals they wish to reach. As life continues I found that my list is always changing, either things are getting added to it, or taken away from it, however lately I found things are only being added to it rather then taken off of it.

When I was younger my list consisted of things such as what I wanted to be when I grew up, who I wanted to get married to, what kind of car I wanted, the house, car and boat etc. Now that list looks much different, because I changed, or rather God changed me. When He changes your heart to from the desires of the flesh to the things of his kingdom, you don’t lack anything; the scriptures mean what they say. Jesus takes away the things of the sinful nature and replaces them with Him and things of His kingdom, however sometimes the problem becomes when we don’t take in the things of His kingdom but stay empty… well I’ll let you read Luke 11:24

[24] "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' [25] When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. [26] Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first."

All this to say that we need to know Him, and be known by Him, we need intimacy with Christ not out of obligation for good things to happen to us, but out of a desire to know the God we talk about all the time. This is what I want.

MY LIST:

1. To grow in greater intimacy with Christ so that I can speak with Him face to face, and just hear Him speak for hours and hours.

2. To be effective in the kingdom, obeying His commands such as healing the sick, casting out demons, and speaking life.

3. To speak life all the time, and to walk in the glory of the Lord, not just one the outside, but on the inside

4. That where ever I go the environment changes to an open heaven

5. To love ALL people unconditionally

6. To get married and support a household

7. To not miss the plans and purposes that Christ has for my life.

8. To walk on water, and walk through walls, to get transported, and to visit heaven.

As you can see, some of the things haven’t changed, but others are being built onto this list even from recent times in my life. All in all I want to know Christ and to see His kingdom come and His will be done, however it looks

God Bless
